Abstract: A retrofit control of a ductless mini-split system (DMSS) for use in relation to temperature monitoring within a property. Data indicating a command is transmitted to a controller associated with a ductless mini-split system. The command causes the controller to configure an operation to be performed by the ductless mini-split system. Power output associated with the ductless mini-split system is monitored based on transmitting the data indicating the command. A determination that the operation has been performed by the ductless mini-split system is made based on monitoring the power output. Data indicating that the operation has been performed by the ductless mini-split system is provided for output.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for monitoring humidity at a property are disclosed. A monitoring system performs operations including: obtaining, from multiple humidity sensors within the property, humidity data; obtaining occupancy data that indicates whether people are within the property; determining, based on the humidity data and the occupancy data, that humidity in a first area of the property changed more relative to a change in humidity in a second area of the property during a time period when no person was present in the first area and no person was present in the second area; and in response to determining that humidity in the first area changed more relative to a change in humidity in a second area of the property during the time period, providing an indication of a water leak in the first area of the property to a user.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for monitoring energy use habits of consumers. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining temperature data from a monitored property. An energy model of the monitored property is generated based on the obtained temperature data. The current temperature data is obtained from the monitored property. The current temperature data is provided to the generated energy model to generate a duty-cycle for turning an HVAC system of the monitored property off an on during the on-peak hours. The HVAC system of the monitored property is instructed to cycle off and on during the on-peak hours based on the generated duty-cycle.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for alerting individuals of HVAC system issues in their home. In some implementations, a monitoring system monitors a property that includes sensors located throughout the property and generates sensor data. A monitor control unit receives thermostat data from a thermostat that indicates activity of the HVAC system and temperature history of the property. The monitor control unit applies the thermostat and the sensor data to an HVAC model that is trained using past sensor data, past thermostat data, past errors of the HVAC system. The monitor control unit determines an error of the HVAC system from the HVAC model output. The monitor control unit determines an action for likely correcting the error of the HVAC system. The monitor control unit provides, for output, data identifying the error of the HVAC system and the action for likely correcting the error of the HVAC system.
